If you prefer long, flat beaches with full facilities and entertainment, head to the north of Corfu to the resort of Acharavi.

Resort facilities and beaches

The more than 3 km long Acharavi beach is sand and shingle with a very gentle entrance to the sea and full facilities.

Here you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas (approx. 20 eur for two per day), enjoy various water activities and sports, and sit in the many beach bars and tavernas.

Acharavi continues loosely eastwards to Almiros beach, which tends to be less crowded.

The town of Acharavi itself is small and quiet, but there are many tavernas, bars and there are also shops and a supermarket along the main road in the centre of the village.
